Man! I love the color scheme in that last one! One thing I noticed, do you usually do your wraps with the handle already on the blank? I usually do the wrap first, then apply an end wrap where the handle comes to on the blank and epoxy the handle on over the very bottom edge of the end wrap.

I fit the handle directly to the blank, if I put the handle the hole in the handle would have to be larger than the diameter of the blank to fit over the thread and the blank would have to be built up with tape or something. I prefer not to do that.

I see, I just tend to have the handle drilled out just a touch larger than the blank, and then like you said, use tape to build arbors on it. One advantage, I think, is that you get more epoxy to hold the handle pieces to the blank.

Actually as with most glues the less epoxy or other bonding agent you need to fill the gap between the two pieces the stronger the bond. If you think about gluing two pieces of wood together you clamp them together and literally squeeze all the glue out.

However I have done a few handles similar to what you do, they have no failed, so I really don't think it is an issue.

Top notch work UpNorth! Great picts and explinations. The tip with the stick will help me alot. That step is a pain without it and I never thought of it, thanks...

The Popsicle stick sure does make it easier to cut all that stuff off without scaring your handle or blank. I picked that up off another forum(can't take credit for figuring it out myself).

Nice. Very Nice. Up, you got it going on. Great tutorial. I hope this site continues down that path. Thanks. Keeps us rod builders going to see that and pushes those sitting on the fence off into trying it. Good job.

Folks lets see more. Even at the basic levels. We got our own little community growing here!

I agree with CRF, even the basic stuff is nice too. I have seen come real clean nicely done stuff out there and that is worth showing off also.

WOW, very nice work. I have never gone that far with a wrap. I like the handle also
